    <jats:p>The study aims to assess pregnancy-specific stress among pregnant women in Spain during the first lockdown of the COVID-19 pandemic. Two samples of pregnant women from the south of Spain (Andalusia) were assessed using the Prenatal Distress Questionnaire (PDQ) and a sociodemographic and obstetric questionnaire. Group 1 (N = 155) was recruited face-to-face, whereas Group 2 (N = 78) was recruited online. Pregnancy-specific stress levels were significantly different in both groups. The face-to-face group (Group 1) had higher pregnancy-specific stress levels than the online group (Group 2). The online sample over-represents young adult pregnant women with high education levels and a high number of previous miscarriages. The face-to-face study seems more accessible to racially and ethnically diverse groups. The main concern among both groups was the risk of having a sick neonate. Research during the COVID-19 pandemic can benefit from using online resources to collect data to screen and identify perinatal mental health problems in a crisis environment. Nevertheless, researchers should be aware of the potential limitations this strategy can have, for example, certain groups of people may have limited access to the internet.</jats:p>

    <jats:p>&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Introduction:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; The potential of the thyroid hormone receptor β (TRβ1) selective analog GC-1 has been widely proven in animal models and humans. However, its effect on the reproductive stage of the female rat has not been evaluated. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Methods:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; The effect of the administration of GC-1 or equimolar doses of triiodothyronine (T3) was evaluated on the reproductive performance of the hypothyroid female rat and the indirect effect on pup thyroid status, weight, and survival. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Results:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Hypothyroidism reduced the number of embryos implanted in the uterus, whereas T3 and GC-1 treatment in hypothyroid females reestablished the number of implanted embryos to normal. Initiation of labor was delayed by hypothyroidism, and T3 replacement treatment reinstated the normal timing of parturition. The administration of GC-1 alone to the lactating mother did not affect pup survival, weight, or thyroidal status. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Conclusions:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Our findings show the differential effect of thyroid hormone selective signaling during gestation and the indirect exposure of the pups; we also emphasize the plausible use of GC-1 for treatment of hypothyroid mothers during the lactation period. </jats:p>

    <jats:p>La gestación y el postparto son periodos de especial vulnerabilidad para el desarrollo de cuadros de salud mental materna, que impactan negativamente en la salud e interacción materno-infantil. La mayoría de los estudios se han enfocado en la depresión, siendo la ansiedad menos estudiada, pese a su alta prevalencia.Objetivos: Evaluar la prevalencia de tamizaje positivo para cuadros ansiosos y depresivos en una muestra de mujeres inscritas en centros de salud primaria públicos en Chile y la asociación de estos síntomas con los factores de riesgo específicos.Sujetos y Método: 158 mujeres completaron cuestionarios de auto reporte (Escala de Edimburgo y Escala de ansiedad perinatal) durante el tercer trimestre de gestación y a los 3 y 6 meses postparto. Se realizaron análisis para evaluar la prevalencia y evolución de los síntomas y posibles diferencias en salud mental de acuerdo a variables sociodemográficas.Resultados: Durante el periodo perinatal se identificó una prevalencia entre 41,3% y 44,3% de sintomatología ansiosa elevada y de 13,9% a 20,9% para los síntomas elevados de depresión. Se destaca la relevancia del apoyo percibido, nivel educacional materno y antecedentes de aborto espontáneo, para la salud mental de la mujer durante la transición a la maternidad.Conclusiones: Los síntomas de ansiedad y depresión perinatal son prevalentes, iniciativas para identificar a mujeres en riesgo y para promover factores protectores, como el apoyo social, son necesarias para aumentar el bienestar de las mujeres y sus familias.</jats:p>
